dana, i want to go back over to you. your paper is reporting you have senate democrats and republicans working together. is this a sign the complete loss of confidence in john boehner's ability to do anything has now bled into the republican conference in the senate? >> it's part of that going on, but also i think people have said okay, ted cruz, you had your crack at this. you've got us into a terrible mess. so i think some of the leadership like mitch mcconnell is getting a bit more brave. and that is to some extent happening in the house too, what you saw with paul ryan stepping back from the obama care demands. so the leadership in both chambers i think is beginning to get a bit more of an upper hand saying no to the tea party folks. they're a long way from having this all taken care of. but the very fact that they're stepping back from obama care which was a nonnegotiable position for the administration to be in, now there are things that they at least can talk about. so that is good news. you don't want to predict

now dana, that may be drew but dr. yellen has faced tough questions about her plans to continue the fed's stimless campai stimulus campaign this hour we learned that david vitter plans to vote no on her nomination. i guess we should glad he wasn't in a massage parlor when he issued that statement. how hard should this fight be? >> it shouldn't be as hard as the other fights. in today's senate, you expect a fight getting through the pledge of aallegiance and the morning prayer. the policies that this administration and for that matter the previous administration have been following in terms of monetary stimulus to the economy. >> i suppose republicans would prefer the european model just reserved a model of gdp growth of 0.1% is that a preference? >> actually, they would have opposed in the first case all of the tarp and the bailouts that we may well have been in the second great depression had we followed that route. janet yellen is in pretty good company the policy she is advocating. once you eliminate the david vitte

. >> dana rower backer as you know, a republican congressman from california, says rubio is using, and i'm quoting him, weasel words on immigration. what are the odds that as the knives come out rubio shifts? rubio basically disowns the bill? he's moved from 100% to 95. >> let me propose a different analogy. he may end up being the john roberts of his party. when the chief justice came out and said i'm conservative but there's no way around it, obama care is constitutional, his own people attacked him so much that you know, it seemed to make him pull back and say who am i in bed with. i think there's a real peril here for the hard-core conservative right not credible on this issue to go after someone who yes, by the way, i'm not afraid to say it, is one of the few latino minorities in the party, willing to work with these guys, willing to do outreach and i give him credit for that in the past and they attack him like this, are even when he's trying to get some of their border security kurt stuff in. i think they risk alienating him not unlike many of the voter who's associate with him
